LUCAS STREET, Barbados, (CMC):Leg-spinner Damion Jacobs conjured up a career-best six-wicket haul as Jamaica Scorpions thrashed ICC Americas by five wickets in their final Group B game of the Regional Super50 here yesterday.Opting to bowl first at the Windward Cricket Club in the east of the island, Scorpions ripped through the ICC Americas’ innings to send them tumbling for 133 off 31 overs.The 32-year-old Jacobs was the main architect of the ICC Americas demise, claiming six for 34 from his 10 overs as the development side collapsed from 89 for two in the 17th over, losing their last eight wickets for 44 runs.Opener Hamza Tariq top-scored with 32 and Alex Amsterdam hit 28, but they were the only two to pass 20.NEVER IN DOUBTIn reply, the game appeared open when Scorpions slid to 48 for three in the 10th over, but once Andre McCarthy entered to punch a run-a-ball 47, and Devon Thomas, an attacking 43, the result was never in doubt.Left-arm spinner Saad bin Zafar (2-29) and seamer Mohammed Ali Khan (2-32) picked up two wickets apiece.Scorpions ended their preliminary-round campaign with 28 points from six wins and two defeats while ICC Americas’ record was a sorry one, with a single win from their eight games.Any hopes of altering their fortunes were quickly dashed when they lost Kamau Leverock (14) and captain Nitish Kumar (1) cheaply with only 23 runs on the board in the eighth over.Left-hander Leverock was taken at the wicket off speedster Renard Leveridge in the fifth over while Kumar was bowled by left-armer Gavon Brown.However, Tariq and Amsterdam then counter-attacked in an entertaining stand of 66, which required only 54 deliveries.While opener Tariq belted three sixes in a 51-ball knock, Amsterdam faced 32 balls and counted five fours. The partnership was threatening when both fell in successive overs.Jacobs bowled Tariq in the 17th before off-spinner John Campbell bowled Amsterdam in the 18th.The innings then folded swiftly as Jacobs snared four of the last six wickets to fall.read more

The President of both the United Minibus Union (UMU) and the Market Vendors Union, Eon Andrews on Tuesday during an exclusive interview with the Guyana Times said he has great expectations from the newly elected Mayor of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine.Among the matters Andrews is seeking to iron out with the new Mayor who takes office in January 2019 are the removal of market vendors and bus parks.He said, “I am glad to know there is some fresh blood there and I also feel that there ought not to have been some people on the Council from the last Council. There should have been a wider sweep of those persons who are there. Other persons should have been brought in but they are there and one has to rememberPresident of the UMU and Market Vendors Union, Eon Andrewsthat it’s not gunna be easy for him (Narine) because the Council is run by Committees and he may have an idea and influence certain decisions…I hope that he is given the support”.In relation to the removal of the bus parks to facilitate the Stabroek Market Wharf vendors, Andrews noted, “We spoke with the City Works Committee that has to deal with that and take it to Statutory (Meeting) where he will be a part of the vote as it relates to the park but as it relates to the vendors the Union is going to write this new body”.The head of the Unions explained he intends to write the new leaders of the Council where amicable decisions can be made, with regards to the vendors.Andrews was keen to note that City Hall ought to put special attention on the vendors as the Town cannot run without their input. “You cannot manage the City without the input of those vendors and I mean genuine input not just having a crowd and people talking but more or less organized discussions,” he pointed out.The vendors at the Stabroek Market Wharf were officially removed from their vending areas on September 14, when City Constables followed orders to barricade the area, after a two weeks’ notice was served to them.The Public Infrastructure Ministry (MPI) has reportedly undertaken to rehabilitate the Stabroek Market Wharf, which has been in a deplorable state for many years.Several bus parks were relocated to facilitate upgrade works to accommodate the vendors, including the Route 42 (Grove/Diamond to Georgetown) Park. A number of other parks were later relocated to facilitate the same venture, specifically to alleviate the traffic congestion in the area.Bus drivers in the various operating zones have since been placed in different areas, but they have strongly condemned this development because of criminal activities and other inconveniences allegedly associated with those new areas.The Timehri (Route 42) minibus operators who were placed on High Street on numerous occasions decried the area as they are not only now being affected by flood but criminal activities. That park was allowed to move back to its original spot for the Christmas season.read more

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE – Florida’s stormy skies continue to threaten the liftoff of the Dawn spacecraft, two months after bad weather prompted NASA to postpone initial launch attempts. There is a 40 percent chance that scattered showers could prevent Thursday’s planned launch, said launch meteorologist Kathy Winters at a news conference Tuesday. Liftoff for the asteroid-bound mission was delayed 24 hours earlier this week when storms prevented crews from fueling the second stage of Dawn’s Delta II rocket. If the weather holds out, Dawn’s 29-minute launch window will open at 7:20 a.m. EDT. It could take as many as four hours after launch before ground crews hear back from the spacecraft about its status in space. Once successfully off the ground, the spacecraft will spend the next four years traveling to the dwarf planet Ceres and then to the asteroid Vesta. “Dawn will be the first mission to journey into and explore the heart of the asteroid belt, the first to orbit around two bodies and the first to visit a dwarf planet,” said Jim Adams, deputy director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Planetary Science Division. To do so, Dawn will use the longest solar array that NASA has ever used on a planetary mission, said Marc Rayman, a JPL systems engineer. That array, stretching longer than the distance from the pitcher’s mound to home plate, will power an ion propulsion system that until recently was the stuff of science fiction. “It really does create a cool blue glow like you see in the sci-fi movies,” Rayman said. Though the ion-propulsion system only produces about as much force as a piece of paper resting on your hand, taking four days to push the craft from 0 to 60 miles per hour, its “gentle, whisperlike thrust gradually builds up over time until we can achieve very high speed,” Rayman said. Dawn will travel 3 billion miles before its mission ends in July 2015, passing Mars along the way for a gravity boost. It’s final targets, Ceres and Vesta, are two starkly different worlds. elise.kleeman@sgvn.com (626) 578-6300, Ext. 4451160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.
